President Trump Retweeted Compliment to Him From a Fake Russian Account

If it’s not bad enough that thousands of Russian-created Twitter and Facebook accounts appear to have helped President Trump win the 2016 Presidential election, breaking news coming to us this morning indicating that the President’s cabinet and even the President himself indirectly helped these accounts spread their messages.

The account in question, @10_gop, tweeted the following message to the President on September 19, 2017: “We love you, Mr. President.” Soon after, President Trump retweeted this message to all 40 million+ followers of his. Additionally, Trump’s former campaign manager and current ‘Counselor to the President’ also retweeted this exact same message to all of her followers.

While this does not directly link Trump or his campaign to these Russian accounts in a criminal sense, it does show that multiple campaign officials and those within the President’s administration, including the President himself used Russian propaganda in an effort to make themselves look better to the American people.
